French leek soup diet

This is the touted Magical Leek Soup of French author Mireille Guiliano. Mireille was spokesperson for Veuve Clicquot for twenty years. I haven't found the dedication to adhere to the French tradition of fasting quarterly but have managed to accomplish it twice a year. My fast begins on a Saturday...

In season 2 of Emily in Paris there is a brief mention of Magic Leek Soup. Apparently, it's a simple weight loss trick French women have been using for generations. I kicked up the flavor profile but kept the calories to a minium. Enjoy!

French women drink this diet soup when they want to slim down for an event - leeks are a natural diuretic.

Magical Leek Soup - the French woman's diet secret, as referenced in "Emily in Paris". Le Chef's Wife twist on the recipe is delicious and family friendly. It tastes like comfort food yet is incredibly healthy for you. Vegan and gluten free. Tasty and pretty enough to be served at a dinner party.

Adapted from Mireille Guiliano's French women don't get fat. Serve with (cheesy) sourdough toast if you're feeling adventurous, or afraid the soup might not satisfy you, though I'm pretty sure it will. Feel free to substitute mushrooms for cauliflower or iceberg lettuce leaves. You can also add other root vegetables to the mix. Frozen veges are great too.

I learned about French detox soup from my French mother-in-law. After any big meal, she would compensate the next day with her soup recipe!
